La Mirada is a wonderful community known for many things including nice homes on beautiful tree-lined streets.

The city has been one of my favorites since very early in my real estate career. The city is also known for Biola College and the famous La Mirada Theater, home to outstanding theatrical productions.

 

The newest attraction just opened, "SPLASH" the acquatics park, this is an amazing place you have to see for yourself! What fun, it's located on 18 acres of the La Mirada Regional Park. Personally, I'm a huge fan of parks, and I think La Mirada Regional  is one of the best in Southern California, best of all, it's free of charge.

Hey great pictues. I have to admit to sticker shock after being in Texas for a while. You can buy a bunch of home here for under 300000. How about 3000 sq ft on the golf course. Wow.

Hey thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on Round Rock. Have a great week.
